Hello All, I have just acquired a 1996 e-350 econoline with a 5.8l efi engine. I drove it home and along the way it shut off several times but fired right back up and kept on til we got home. After i inspected the engine i found several issues.
First i cannot connect to the computer to pull the codes. i attached the obd11 scanner (actron) and i get a "no link" error. I do have power and ground at the connector as my scan tool turns on but just no link. Any Ideas as to where to start?
Second I found that there is a vacuum tree at the top of the intake manifold that has one of the lines on it not connected to anything but if i put my finger on the hole the engine shuts off. I will add a picture asap of said vacuum tree.
And finally i have a cracked exhaust manifold. So i just need to replace this.
Anyone have any idea as to where the vacuum hose should be connected to? see pic
